Chapter 475 – Demon Wind Triple Flurry
After executing the “Dragon Devour” slash, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.
He hit the target.
But something felt off about the impact!
As expected, the magenta mecha, knocked back by his “Dragon Devour,” showed almost no hesitation. It kicked off the wall behind it, launching itself back with blazing fiery blade lights at an even fiercer speed than before.
“Clang!”
The black dual axes clashed violently with the fiery short knife, causing a burst of energy sparks.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The dual axes and short knife collided rapidly in mid-air, where each impact exploded into a spectacular display of light and sparks.
Sonis’s attack speed was unbelievably fast, at speeds above ten times the sound speed. The naked eye of a bystander couldn’t follow; they could only see the fiery flickering afterimages.
Lu Yuan’s expression remained calm.
Although his mental power was only level three, significantly lower than Sonis’s.
His innate battle instincts as a martial arts Grandmaster were still intact. Even without relying on mental power to track movements, he could accurately predict Sonis’s attack points.
The [Wind Demon Frenzied Axe Style] was open and aggressive, wild and fierce, yet Lu Yuan wielded it with a refined finesse.
The black dual axes manipulated the chaotic air currents, slicing through with imaginative, antelope-horn-like arcs, precisely intercepting every one of Sonis’s assaults, quickly pushing back against her.
At this moment.
The battle between the two mechas resembled a fierce red Meteor repeatedly crashing against a vast dark blue wave below, attempting to break it apart.
However, the attempts resulted in failure time and again.
Moreover, the dark blue mecha symbolizing the wave seemed to grow in momentum and presence, continually rising, on the verge of devouring the fiery red Meteor.
[Wind Demon Frenzied Axe Style] experience points +3
[Pilot (Extraordinary)] professional experience +1
[Wind Demon Frenzied Axe Style] experience points +2
…
On the professional panel, notification messages for increased experience points kept popping up.
Lu Yuan remained calm, with an aura of composure, exuding the demeanor of a martial arts Grandmaster.
He wasn’t in a rush to end the battle; instead, he saw Sonis as a Sparring Partner, intending to gather a wealth of experience from the encounter.
In less than thirty seconds, the magenta mecha’s momentum had notably dwindled.
Sonis, controlling the magenta mecha, clearly realized this too.
As the magenta mecha’s descending twin blades were once again deflected by Lu Yuan’s Dual Axes, the white wave-like light from the axes dispersed, creating a flurry of sparks upon contact with the mecha’s surface…
The magenta mecha suddenly emitted a surge of red light, performing unbelievable mid-air flips before unleashing a powerful magnetic force, transforming it into an unprecedented thrust, aggressively lunging forward.
“Resonance Technique: Magnetic Spin Strike!”
Inside the rapidly descending magenta mecha, Sonis’s cold voice resonated.
At this moment, the magenta mecha was enveloped in intense red light, resembling a meteorite, burning fiercely at its peak…”Boom!” It collided with Lu Yuan’s Dual Axes.
“Bang Bang!”
The axe light of the [Wind Demon Frenzied Axe] clashed with the magenta mecha engulfed in red light. Lu Yuan’s stance remained unyielding, though the ground beneath him cracked in dense layers.
His arms, gripping the Dual Axes, even bent slightly under the force, illustrating the terrifying power of Sonis’s strike.
However, before Lu Yuan could launch a retaliatory attack…
The magenta mecha, which had just delivered a staggering impact, instantly ascended once more.
Repeating the exact same maneuver.
“Resonance Technique: Second Magnetic Spin Strike!”
As the magenta mecha descended again, its force was twice as fierce as before.
“Boom!”
Lu Yuan received the strike head-on, causing the ground beneath the mecha to shatter completely.
The impact force spread rapidly from his feet in all directions, and within moments, the floor of the black hall was entirely fragmented.
Not a single intact stone remained, prompting the demon grease pirates watching to retreat in sync.
“Resonance Technique: Third Magnetic Spin Strike!”
Even as Lu Yuan was still dealing with the overwhelming pressure, Sonis’s third form Resonance Technique was already upon him.
The same deadly move was unleashed three times consecutively, with the effect stacking each time, becoming increasingly terrifying.
Throughout this process, the magenta mecha’s spinning descent accelerated each time, resembling a high-speed gyroscope. With each boost, the impact force grew exponentially.
“Boom!”
The magenta mecha’s third strike landed.
The terrifying downward force compressed the air in the black hall to a near-solid density, making it hard to breathe under the weight.
Lu Yuan, bearing the brunt of the attack, saw the ground beneath him pulverized into black dust, rippling outward.
His colossal dark blue mecha nearly sank into the earth entirely.
“Die!”
The magenta mecha, engulfed in intense red light, bore down on Lu Yuan with relentless force.
The blades of its crimson dual blades also spun at high speed, frantically slicing against the black Dual Axes they met.
The blade edges of the black Dual Axes shattered continuously, and the alloy giant arms wielding the giant axes were being relentlessly pushed down by Sonis.
Yet at Sonis’s most commanding moment…
“Snap-“
A sound like something snapping echoed in her ears.
In the next second, Sonis’s pupils contracted.
She saw the alloy giant arms of the dark blue mecha, holding the battered black Dual Axes, suddenly burst open. The alloy coating on the arms tore apart.
Alloy material resembling blood and muscle fibers surged from these fissures.
The already massive mecha arms inflated to an extremely grotesque size within seconds.
In that instant, Sonis felt…
As if facing a monstrously transformed beast, enhanced by some berserk potion!
“Boom!”
An indescribable terrifying force erupted suddenly from the fractured Dual Axes.
It was like an overwhelming tidal wave roaring up from the depths of the Abyss.
Caught off guard, Sonis was forcefully flipped by this immense power, her mecha rocked and propelled into the high air behind her.
“Whoosh-whoosh-“
A heavy, labored breathing filled the air, sending puffs of white steam swirling upward.
These waves of heat turned the already devastated black hall into what seemed like a giant, scorching furnace.
Hanging in mid-air, Sonis watched the dark blue mecha before her in utter shock.
The dark blue mecha had grown significantly larger, its height now reaching twelve meters.
Its outer shell was shattered and broken, revealing an underlying black and red material that pulsed and expanded like flesh.
An unprecedented, terrifying aura emanated from it, making Sonis’s scalp tingle involuntarily.
“A bio-mecha?”
Sonis spoke with a grim expression.
This would explain why, despite having destroyed almost half of the dark blue mecha’s upper body previously, it managed to restore itself so quickly and remained undamaged.
The ability for rapid self-repair during battle was indeed one of the advantages of a bio-mecha.
The current appearance of the dark blue mecha matched Sonis’s understanding of such biological machines.
Instead of directly answering Sonis’s question, the dark blue mecha responded, “An interesting mecha Resonance Technique… it’s even inspired me…”
“What?!”
Sonis’s brow furrowed slightly, not fully grasping the meaning behind the dark blue mecha’s words.
In the next instant, an inexplicable sense of danger and foreboding quickly surged from within her.
Startled, Sonis tried to react defensively, when she saw the dark blue mecha casually lift its hand, wielding the two massive black axes with ease as it swung them toward her.
“Demon Wind Triple Flurry!”
“Whoosh-“
As the dark blue mecha executed the slash, the entire air in the vast black hall was instantly stirred.
A whirlwind arose out of nowhere, lifting debris and rubble.
Then, two arcs of axe light approached swiftly.
The moment these axe lights appeared, the atmosphere in the hall changed dramatically.
In Sonis’s perception, it was as if a massive wave, obscuring the sky and earth, was hurtling toward her accompanied by fierce winds.
It came with an unstoppable, devouring force, sweeping across the landscape.
“Damn it!”
Sonis felt a tingling sensation on her scalp as she controlled the magenta mecha to spin at an unprecedented speed.
Her arms closed in, raising and focusing the twin blades to a single point, aimed directly at the incoming axe light.
“Boom-“
With a thunderous crash that nearly shattered eardrums, the spinning momentum of the magenta mecha abruptly stalled. The terrifying winds and waves in the hall seemed to break apart.
But before Sonis could catch her breath, the dispersing force reformed again.
Two more axe lights followed, their presence now more overwhelming, ferocious, and unstoppable than before.
Sonis’s face turned pale as the magenta mecha landed silently and continuously retreated.
“Wind Demon Frenzied Axe, threefold amplification, overwhelming force!”
Lu Yuan’s gaze was steady, as the grandmaster exertion technique, honed to level 2, was fully activated. Inside the mecha, countless alloy muscles, linked by the core’s flesh and blood, vibrated at high frequency, unleashing a cataclysmic force.
He fully supported the [Demon Wind Triple Flurry], a technique inspired by Sonis’s threefold Resonance Technique.
The energy from his core was depleting rapidly at an alarming rate.
Had it not been for devouring the Life Essence of more than a dozen level 4 and 5 pilots beforehand, Lu Yuan might have been unable to maintain this move.
Despite this, the intense energy consumption of this finishing move was still putting considerable pressure on him.
Fortunately, the power displayed by the [Demon Wind Triple Flurry] was satisfactory for him.
Only at the second fold, not even reaching the third, it already had the power to crush a level 7 mecha.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to end the battle with this move, suddenly…
“Boom!”
The wall on one side of the black hall exploded as a humanoid shadow burst through, crashing into Lu Yuan’s side.
“Bang!”
Caught off guard, Lu Yuan could only manage to swing an axe in defense before being sent flying by the collision.
“Thud!”
The unexpected intruder kept charging, shouldering Lu Yuan across the hall until they slammed into the opposite wall, causing the entire alloy barrier to collapse inward.
“Heave-ho-heave-ho-“
The sound of an engine roaring echoed, reminiscent of heavy breathing. The humanoid silhouette that intervened midway was shrouded in white light, slowly stepping away from the wall and turning to face the others.
This was a massive, lead gray mecha.
Its upper body was particularly robust, layered with thick alloy armor. It had long, sturdy legs and black alloy arms that hung naturally. Its scarlet glowing eyes gave it the appearance of a giant alloy werewolf.
“Sonis…”
The Werewolf Mecha, having suddenly burst onto the scene, cast a menacing grin toward the magenta mecha, letting out an arrogant, wild laugh.
“I saved your life. Isn’t that worth a couple of nights together to thank me properly?!”
The voice revealed it to be the triangular-eyed man who had previously been casually struck away by Lu Yuan.
It was unclear when he managed to return piloting this mecha.
Sonis’s expression was icy, her eyes fixed intently on the part of the wall collapsed by the Werewolf Mecha’s impact, ignoring the triangular-eyed man’s words.
She knew clearly that the terrifying dark blue mecha was by no means so easily defeated.
It could return at any moment.
“Stop looking…”
The triangular-eyed man said, nonchalant and sneering, “The guy didn’t even have his energy shield up. He took a direct hit from my Resonance Technique. Even a level 7 mecha would be smashed to pieces… He’s probably nothing more than a pile of goo by now. By the way, Sonis, are you really not going to show any appreciation…?”
The triangular-eyed man continued with a cheeky grin.
Sonis, however, preferred not to dignify him with a response and coldly spat, “Idiot.”
“Damn it!”
Hearing Sonis’s retort, the triangular-eyed man’s expression changed, and he was about to retort with a cold tone when…
“Swish-“
An axe light silently cut through the air, suddenly slicing out from the collapsed wall.
In an instant, the Werewolf Mecha spun around, its form agilely leaping high.
“He’s really not dead? But did you think I wouldn’t be on guard? Heh…”
Before the Triangular-eyed man’s mocking voice could linger, another axe light cleaved upward.
The Werewolf Mecha roared, its robust alloy arms erupted in a brilliant flash, and a dense array of claw blades shot out from its hands, ferociously grasping toward the incoming axe light.
From Sonis’s vantage point, she could see a mecha with an unnervingly sturdy and massive build moving like a ghost, swiftly closing in on the airborne Werewolf Mecha alongside the rising axe light.
Before the Werewolf Mecha could crush the close-range axe light, Lu Yuan had silently gripped its ankles.
With a powerful yank, he pulled the airborne Werewolf Mecha down with a tremendous force.
“Boom!”
The Werewolf Mecha was brutally slammed to the ground, raising a huge cloud of dust.
Sonis’s heart skipped a beat as she charged toward the battle group.
She was acutely aware that once the Triangular-eyed man was taken out, her situation would revert to how it was before.
Even though he was an idiot, at this moment, she had no better teammate choice.
As Sonis controlled the magenta mecha to rush out, the dust cloud dispersed, revealing the dark blue mecha standing over the fallen Werewolf Mecha, holding its Dual Axes, ready to chop down.
Suddenly, the dark blue mecha turned its head and glanced at Sonis.
“Hiss-“
The magenta mecha abruptly halted mid-charge!
Inside the cockpit, Sonis’s face went pale, and she broke out in a cold sweat. Her eyes and face were painted with immense horror and panic.
Just a single glance.
Sonis… remembered the fear induced by the dark blue mecha just moments ago.
